Publishing's Biggest Union Just Won—Here's What Workers Are Demanding Next
Description
Workers are organizing in industries once considered "dream jobs"—and they're not stopping there.
This segment examines the largest union election in American trade book publishing history as hundreds of Hachette employees vote to unionize. We also cover a major legal victory for New York City rideshare and taxi drivers, the ongoing Teamsters strike in West Virginia, John Deere's unexpected contract extension proposal, and the UFCW's push for fair federal support during the cattle shortage.
Finally, we examine new data suggesting the NLRB is dismissing more unfair labor practice charges under President Trump's second term, raising questions about whether workers' legal protections are keeping pace with a growing wave of organizing.
